Chapter 721: Open the Wound!
Crack!
With a soft sound, the immortal who had just appeared gracefully was already like a puppet. He was thrown onto the platform heavily and stirred up some dust.
He fell straight down.
Jiang Shang’s eyelids twitched. Yang Jian immediately cupped his fists and lowered his head. There was a hint of color in Daji’s eyes, which had always been empty. The surrounding people of Shang huddled together.
Li Changshou waved his hand and the fragment of the Heaven Seal was “swallowed” by the universe. He used that method to put it away and prepared to return to replenish the power of the Five-Element Earth in the Little Qiong Peak.
“Uncle Chang’an!”
Little Nezha rode the Wind-Fire Wheel and charged forward.
Li Changshou’s expressionless face revealed a smile. When Nezha flew in front of him, he raised his hand and rubbed his head.
“Call your master and the others over. They’re in the southwest.”
“Hey!”
Nezha agreed and did not ask why he had called his master and the others over. He rode the Wind-Fire Wheel and rushed to the southwest.
Li Changshou maintained his original appearance, but his aura made the Qi Refinement cultivators unable to raise their heads.
He did not stop and said, “Yang Jian, move this platform to the wilderness outside the city. It must remain intact.”
“Okay!”
Yang Jian agreed and jumped off the stage.
“Everyone on the platform, don’t move!”
After saying that, he stomped the ground with his left foot and pressed his right hand forward. The entire platform, along with the stone slabs and soil that were 30 feet thick, rose steadily into the sky. Jiang Shang, the drummers, and Zhou Chen did not even feel any tremors.
Yang Jian held the “Immortal Island” with one hand and flew into the sky, slowly heading out of the city.
The mortals of Chaoge City had never seen such a scene.
They knelt on the ground and called out to the immortals.
It was a common natural phenomenon for mortals to worship immortals.
Li Changshou looked at the Goddess of Fire Spirit and said, “You should come too.”
The Goddess of Fire Spirit hurriedly bowed and said, “Thank you, Uncle-Master Changgeng, for saving my life.”
“Yes,” Li Changshou replied. He did not say anything else and flew out of Chaoge City on a cloud with his hands behind his back.
A moment later, the platform was erected firmly at the edge of a forest. Li Changshou sat cross-legged in midair and waited quietly on the platform.
Guang Chengzi’s cultivation level was sealed. At that moment, he was lying in front of Daji and could no longer move. His essence soul and soul had already lost their perception of the outside world. It was equivalent to a mortal being knocked unconscious.
Yang Jian hugged his arms and stood in the corner of the platform like a door god.
At that moment, Jiang Shang looked left and right. He could only appease the ministers of Zhou, who were almost making a fool of themselves, and let the drummers on the stage serve as guards.
It had to be said that after training in the mortal world for a few years, Jiang Shang was now a qualified Grand Tutor.
He ordered people around.
However, when Li Changshou’s gaze landed on Jiang Shang, he could not help but feel angry.
The negative karma that surrounded his essence soul had already affected his lifespan.
That was the backlash from the “Abyssfall Pill”. Guang Chengzi had forcefully made Jiang Shang bear it and severed Jiang Shang’s unstable immortal path.
From now on, even if Jiang Shang did good in the future, when his lifespan was up, he could not help but go to the eighteen levels of hell.
He could only build a temple later and earn some incense offerings to balance the negative karma.
This time, Guang Chengzi...
Even if Second Uncle-Master came, he would not be able to save him!
If the heavenly rules did not involve the “Eldest Senior Brother”, then the heavenly rules would not matter.
In fact, from a certain perspective, Li Changshou was very conflicted.
“Protecting the Heavenly Courts is protecting the Heavenly Dao. Protecting the Heavenly Dao is to increase the difficulty of repairing the Heavenly Dao in the future.”
However, Li Changshou had his own set of standards. He would not abandon his principles because of that. Instead, he would find a more stable and thorough solution.
Touching his master’s reincarnation was a principle.
Feeding the so-called immortal pills to the mortal soldiers directly pierced his standards of conduct.
Good Lord.
He tried his best to protect the Goddess and the mortals of the human race during the battle between him and the Heavenly Dao. He did not want them to attack or implicate him. If necessary, he could help the Heavenly Dao.
Wasn’t it for the sake of returning Senior Suiren’s favor?
Wasn’t it because he was born a mortal and felt indignant when he saw mortals struggling in the Primordial World and being used as incense offerings?
At that time, he had no choice but to ask Senior Suiren to take action and cause him to die. He felt guilty!
Guang Chengzi knew that he valued the human race greatly.
He destroyed the ancient demons, participated in the human race’s expedition to Heaven, and planned the “immortal contract” and “separation of immortals and mortals” for the mortal world of the South Continent. He set a large number of heavenly rules with mortals as the core...
Chan School saw it!
What was all of that for?
Humans.
Guang Chengzi was so shrewd and scheming. He was even the weakest among the Eldest Senior Brothers of the three sects in terms of combat strength. However, he had used his scheming skills to make up for that weakness. How could he not know that?
How could he not understand that?
When Li Changshou sat on the Little Qiong Peak, he saw Guang Chengzi bring Wei Ziqi’s envoy into the Zhou Camp. He saw that Guang Chengzi wanted Jiang Shang to use the Abyssal Pill...
If not for the Clear Dao heart, his blood pressure would have risen!
It was really to curry favor with the Dao Ancestor. In order to curry favor with the Heavenly Dao, he gave up his bottom line and ignored his reputation of being “rich”!
What is Chan School doing? Do you really think that I can’t see it?
Li Changshou only cared about his family in the Dao Sect. He cared about his teacher’s deep friendship with his Second Uncle-Master and Third Uncle-Master. He had always been polite to Chan School.
From another perspective, he should take a look at the Great God-Conferment Tribulation that he had been through.
The entire Chan School knew that there was something wrong with Randeng, but they used the name of Randeng being Teacher’s Deputy Sect Master of the ancient times to let Randeng do whatever he wanted, causing a lot of conflict between the Chan School and Jie School in the past tens of thousands of years.
Chan School thought that it was brilliant to let Randeng take the blame. In fact, everything was tacitly approved by Second Uncle-Master, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.
In fact, the disciples of Chan School who looked problematic like Randeng and Wen Shu were Ming Qi of the Western Sect.
Li Changshou had obtained power and the support of his teacher. He cleverly pulled the Heavenly Courts and the Western Sect into an enemy, causing the Western Sect to become the “anti-Heaven” side and suppress the Western Sect.
Chan School had all kinds of vague attitudes and ambiguous behavior.
He was dragging them down in the sea of blood. He was unwilling to fight. He stopped Yang Jian from smashing the Western Sect. When Jie School destroyed the Western Sect, they had to help the Western Sect in the name of balance!
He had really tolerated Guang Chengzi and Chan School for too long.
Was the separation of the ancient Three Pure Ones really a conflict caused by the issue of taking in disciples?
That was not the case. That was just the topic that the Primordial World took delight in talking about. Before Li Changshou had become a Golden Immortal, he had already understood what conflict was hidden behind.
That was the absolute conflict between the Grandmaster of Heaven and the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning!
At that time, when he was plotting, he would use some “symbols” to replace the six Saints. The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning’s code name was a Night Light Cup, and the Grandmaster of Heaven’s code name was a bamboo basket.
In fact, it did not have any special meaning. The Grandmaster of Heaven represented a wasted effort. The disciples were like the four seas. According to the original God-Conferment script, there were only a few disciples left. They could not survive.
The meaning of the Night Light cup was even simpler. It was a “cup holder”.
The logic was simple.
When the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning took in a disciple, he looked at how righteous he was and how lucky he was.
Who decided on the luck?
Heavenly Dao.
The Grandmaster of Heaven took in disciples. There was no discrimination. He considered fate, aptitude, and advocated for a chance of survival for all living beings.
What is he doing?
He did not take the Heavenly Dao seriously and used his own strength to seize a chance for the damned living beings. He provided a longevity path for the Qi Refinement cultivators who did not have any luck.
When the Great God-Conferment Tribulation had just erupted, the predicament Jie School was facing was a treasure that could not suppress the luck. Their disciples’ luck was unstable, and they could easily turn into ashes in the Great Tribulation.
Who decided the destiny?
It was also the Heavenly Dao.
Luck represented the recognition of the Heavenly Dao for the living being. It was inversely related to the resistance that the living being encountered when cultivating in the world. The higher the luck, the less resistance.
The hidden logic behind this was that only living beings recognized by the Heavenly Dao could live forever. Living beings that the Heavenly Dao did not acknowledge had to wither.
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning understood this principle and followed the heavens.
The Grandmaster of Heaven also understood that logic. He looked at the living beings and felt compassion. He stood in front of them and said,
“Follow me and become a Saint steadily. I can protect you.”
The so-called Great God-Conferment Tribulation was just a siege by the Heavenly Dao to the Heaven-defying. It was just a screening of living beings by the Heavenly Dao.
If he followed his destiny and lived forever, he would turn into ashes.
The Three Pure Ones split up. On the surface, it was because they wanted to take in disciples. However, deep down, two Saints had embarked on two paths. It was an inevitable disagreement caused by their completely different personalities.
The Grand Pure One was quiet and did not do anything. He took in a disciple and did not give him a name or Dao name. He watched the Three Realms quietly in the Nine Heavens.
He did not care about the differences in the ideals of his two junior brothers. He did not care about the conflict between Jie School and Chan School. He only cared about whether the living beings of the world would be completely suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. He cared about the “liveliness” of the True Spirit in the Three Realms.
That was why Li Changshou said that his teacher had inherited the will of the Pangu God.
In fact, what he meant was that the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning had violated the will of the Pangu God. The Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor had stolen the Heavenly Dao Fruit and the Grandmaster of Heaven...
He was a little impulsive and could not see the big picture.
Li Changshou had never wanted to mention that problem. However, the environment he was in was extremely difficult.
It was indeed extremely difficult.
The Dao Ancestor had personally come to the Little Qiong Peak and deliberately fought with him out of thin air. He was actually forcing him to make a choice. He could either attack now or leave immediately.
The Dao Ancestor was threatening him with the life of someone related to the Little Qiong Peak.
The Dao Ancestor was using Yun Xiao’s life to threaten him to make a decision!
The Clear Dao Heart was rebooted.
Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart. He looked down at Guang Chengzi and sneered.
Why did Guang Chengzi suddenly jump?
Actually, it was because Guang Chengzi had been crushed by the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Heavenly Dao of Chan School.
He had used “this is all for the sake of Chan School” to convince himself, but he was doing things according to the Heavenly Dao.
After the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor achieved their goal, Guang Chengzi was pulled out by the Dao Ancestor to be a target. He forced Li Changshou to deal with Guang Chengzi, causing the Dao Sect to split up and complete the final calamity of the God Conferment.
In terms of evil, Guang Chengzi and the Heavenly Dao were divided into 37%.
At that moment, the Dao Ancestor was probably sitting in the purple bamboo forest and watching the scene with a smile.
Li Changshou could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart.
The Dao Ancestor must have sensed that he was going to create the fusion of Jie School and Chan School. That was why the Dao Ancestor had instigated Guang Chengzi to force him away in advance.
In essence, Jie School was pulling Chan School to resist the heavens.
The Three Pure Ones and the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe were necessary to kill the heavens.
The Dao Ancestor’s attack this time was the only chance he had before he left the Primordial World.
Whether he could increase his chances of winning to 80% or even 90% depended on whether he could force Second Uncle-Master to appear next and whether he could force Second Uncle-Master to express his position.
If the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning chose the path of the Three Pure Ones resisting the heavens, he would not even have to leave.
If the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning still used the words ‘fortune’ and ‘background’ to dodge, he could only make Second Uncle-Master and Third Uncle-Master completely opposite each other and dispel Third Uncle-Master’s unrealistic fantasies.
That way, he could increase the possibility of victory for his plan later.
From that moment on, there were only two factions in the Primordial World!
Heavens.
Spirit.
“Lord... Lord Taibai Jinxing!”
Jiang Shang’s voice sounded from below. Li Changshou, who was thinking about these matters, looked down coldly. Jiang Shang trembled and almost knelt down.
Li Changshou hurriedly composed himself and smiled warmly at Jiang Shang.
“Grandmaster Jiang, what can I do for you?”
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare.” Jiang Shang hurriedly bowed and flew five feet on a cloud, indicating that he was talking to Li Changshou as a Qi Refinement cultivator of Chan School.
Jiang Shang said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, allow me to ask, why did you suddenly attack Senior Brother Guang Chengzi? Is it because Senior Brother Guang Chengzi wants to attack Fellow Daoist Huo Ling?”
The Goddess of Fire Spirit, who was hiding at the side, perked up when she heard that. She looked at Li Changshou with anticipation in her eyes.
Li Changshou said, “Yes and no.”
“What do you mean?”
“If Senior Brother Guang Chengzi is allowed to kill Disciple-Niece Huo Ling I’m afraid there will be a huge battle between Jie School and Chan School today. The Great God-Conferment Tribulation has yet to be filled. It was destined that many immortals would turn into ashes today. However, that was only the reason I decided to stop him. It would stop when I destroy the Heaven Splitting Seal. I captured Senior Brother Guang Chengzi because of the Abyssfall Pill.”
Jiang Shang could not help but be stunned. “Why are you...”
“I’ve been watching. However, I was stopped by an important figure at that time. I could only watch.”
Li Changshou smiled at Jiang Shang and said, “There’s no need to ask. If you want to interrogate Daji, continue. However, it’s best to wait. It’s still not lively.”
Jiang Shang looked at Daji. Coincidentally, Daji was also looking up at him. A look of shock and confusion flashed across the latter’s eyes. Then, she regained her clarity and lowered her head in silence.
Li Changshou said loudly, “Di Xin’s soul has been sent to the God-Conferment Platform by me. He can be considered to have benefited from a disaster. When his body was created by the God-Conferment Platform, he was given the cultivation level of a Perfected Immortal. In the future, as an immortal god of the Heavenly Courts, I can almost be immortal. It will be much more comfortable than the kings of the Shang Nation.”
Daji’s eyes flickered. She still lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth revealed a charming smile.
Jiang Shang asked, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, if Daji is killed, can she go to the God-Conferment Platform?”
“Not necessarily,” Li Changshou said calmly. “This matter has yet to be decided. Let’s convict Guang Chengzi first.”
Confirm? Confess?
Jiang Shang could not help but shiver.
Convict the Eldest Senior Brother of Chan School? The Sect Master of Chan School would be embarrassed.
In the southwest direction, streams of light flew over. They looked aggressive, but they were actually flying slower than the other.
In the east, more streams of light flew. A familiar pressure had long been released.
Chan and Jie Schools appeared.
...
The ruins of Zhai Xing Hall.
A wisp of golden light slowly floated over from the blue sky and turned into the Goddess of War of the Heavenly Courts in armor.
Youqin Xuanya landed on the charred floor and looked at the corpse sitting cross-legged and leaning on the sword. She could not help but sigh softly.
The ancestor said, “Although I have regrets and am lacking, I sacrificed myself to protect my integrity and did not disgrace the name of the human emperor. I will protect your third son, Zigeng. Although Shang has lost the destiny of the Human Emperor, the Ancestral Hall will survive. My name is Xuanya. He is my nephew. You are one of the more outstanding descendants that I have seen in the past thousand years.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a breeze blew over. The charred corpse slowly collapsed into a pile of gray sand.
There was a saying:
“It is difficult to return to the capital at dusk. They had to conquer the East to accumulate slaves.”
“He has won the heart of the beauty and the young master in the King’s Palace is outstanding.”
Mu Ye was a hero in the night rain. He did not want to burn the stars in the east.
However, he could not help but be scolded by the latter for setting the Zhou ceremony.
